The goal of this clinical trial is to study whether the minimally invasive approach in the mucosal advancement flap technique for the treatment of complex perianal fistula improves the healing rate compared to non-minimally invasive surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Does the healing rate of patients undergoing minimally invasive approach in the mucosal advancement flap technique improve compared to patients undergoing non-minimally invasive surgery? Researchers will also compare minimally invasive approach in the mucosal advancement flap technique to the non-minimally invasive approach in terms of postoperative pain, fecal incontinence and healing time. Quality of life and global morbidity will also be analyzed. Participants will:

Healing rate
Healing will be measured if 4 criteria are present: no supuration or pain for more than a week, no open external fistulous orifice, no palpable trajectory, no internal fistulous orifice and no tract or collections in 3D endoanal ultrasound.

Surgical treatment of complex perianal fistula. Less tissue damage. Electrocoagulation source with 75% lower power. Better de-epithelialization of the intra-sphinteric tract. More precise closure of orifice. More consistent mucosal flap
